I have Sheet 1 with categorized data. The 'Status' column is what I want to selectively use to pull rows from Sheet 1 -> Sheet 2. I'm trying to find the most straightforward way to pull over just Rows that have the status as 'Accept'. I was able to do this in a less concise, 2-step process of:
Column 1: Pull over Just name column of other sheet with criteria satisfied
=sort(filter('Data'!C2:C, {Status Cirteria}))
*This was only needed once, and the rest of the column was populated automatically via =CONTINUE().
Column 2: pull over the remaining data (rest of row) corresponding to that name
=filter(Data!$A$3:T, {NameCell}=RawData!$F$3:F)
*This was needed for every row.
I'd like to complete this process with just two functions that continue if possible, so I can eliminate user error associated with forcing the user to manually drag the second formula down for new entries.
Any Ideas?
Have you tried using query instead of filter?
Assuming the status is at column F:
=query(Data!A3:T;"select * where F = 'Accept'";1)

I have a table with names on the left and corresponding work schedules to the right. I've created a separate table with some of those same names and want it to automatically fill in the corresponding work schedule for that person. Seemed simple but I'm very stuck. My level of experience with Google Sheets is what is stopping me from solving this.
Example Tables:
In the attached picture the table on the top is the original (hardcoded) data. The table on the bottom is where I want the schedule data to be automatically produced based on the name on the left. The fields with #N/A and #ERROR! are both failed formulas I tried. #N/A should have returned B7:G7. #ERROR! should have returned B4:G4.
I tried the 'LOOKUP' function with ARRAYFORMULA(INDEX) hoping to have it look up the value in the column and input the work schedule data that corresponds.
=LOOKUP("Clair",A1:A9,ARRAYFORMULA(INDEX(B1:G9)))
yielded an #N/A.
Started trying to use =If(REGEXMATCH(A13:A21,"Clair"),... ...) but the '... ...' shows where my intellectual limits are at the moment. I couldn't finish it because I think it's the wrong formula to use.
Something like this maybe?
Remove everthing in B13:G17, and put this formula in B13
=BYROW(A13:A17,LAMBDA(NAME,XLOOKUP(NAME,A1:A9,B1:G9,"NOT FOUND")))
BYROW() work with an array row by row, the given data A13:A17 has only 1 column, which is the name of staff as lookup value.

XLOOKUP() scan an array for a key value (lookup value), and return another array with corresponding row or col index.
Details: https://support.google.com/docs/answer/12405947?hl=en
try:
=INDEX(IFNA(VLOOKUP(A13:A17; A1:G10; SEQUENCE(1; 6; 2); )))
Want to ask if there's a quick way, an automated or using formulas for this scenario.
So I have "config" sheet, and each columns is a list used for a specific dropdown.
config!A:A = clientA
config!B:B = clientB
In a "summary" sheet, I need to add a dropdown in column C depending on the column A
For example summary!A2 contains "client A" so the dropdown in summary!C2 will show the list of clientA
And summary!A3 contains "client B" so the dropdown in summary!C3 will show the list of clientB
What I currently do is named the range each in the "config" then in "summary" I put the Data Validation for the specific name.
I was wondering if there's a custom formula that I can put in the Data Validation for Column C that depends on the value in column A. The only challenge is there are spaces so in the Named Range I remove the space. And since it depends on the column, the row number is moving.
Looking for a formula since I am avoiding App Script for this specific file. Thanks
Hopefully someone could help me on this.
Thanks much.
You are all awesome!
What you can do is set an Auxiliary sheet (or extra columns far in "Summary"). You can set Summary!C2 the next Data Validation:
=Auxiliary!A1:1
Open the settings of that data validation and make sure there are no anchors (no $, for example A$1). If there is some, delete them
Close it and then copy and paste special - Data Validation only to the rest of the cells
This way C2 will be associated with row 2 from Auxiliary, C3 with row 3 and so on
Then, you can go to Auxiliary and set a formula in each row to filter the values according to B2, B3 (or however you identify the client... (a Query, or Filter) --> You'll probably need to transpose the information, so the list becomes a row
With that done, each data validation will depend now on the value of that row
Re-reading your example, you can do the same but instead of filter you can transpose the entire Config sheet and you'll have a row per client

I've got a csv from a 3rd party that is imported into Excel that I cannot figure out how take the data that looks like this so that each row is collapsed down and the blanks are gone. In SQL I would just do a select on the fields I want and de-dupe those, then max on the others to get rid of the blanks. How would this be done in Excel?
Data:
Expected results:
Assumption:
1. you only need to do this once
2. Your source data starts at A1 (the headers)
3. The list of IDs are sorted and with fixed number of rows for each ID (6 rows in your example) .
Steps:
Create a new worksheet
Fill column B with the list of unique ID (in the same order as your data), start with B1
Fill column A with a serial number: 0,1,2,3,4.... up to the number of unique IDs, start with A1
Fill in column C the following formula
=TEXTJOIN("|",TRUE,OFFSET([src worksheet]!$B$2:$O$7,A1*4,0))
Then you should be able to use "TextToColumn" function to make the table you want.
I've tried looking for an answer to this online for a few hours now, but I just can't work out how you'd describe it, or find an appropriate answer.
I have a spreadsheet where I'm wanting to pull out an ID in Column A into a separate tab, but only if it contains a certain phrase that's contained in Column E. In this separate tab, I then don't want there to be any gaps in between the IF statements.
So for example I want the next tab to pull through the Action ID if column E contains 'Client'. If it doesn't, it searches the next row and so on until it finds one that does contain 'Client'. Row 2 on the separate tab would then continue the search, but it wouldn't be filled with something if it doesn't find the word 'Client' - it instead would continue searching down until it found one that has the word in.
So for example - if the first ID that contains the right phrase is in Row 5, I want it to appear on the separate tab in Row 2, underneath the heading. Then, if the second ID with the correct phrase in column F is in Row 11 for example on the main tab, I then want it to be pulled through to Row 3 on the separate tab. And so on..
This will then allow me to do lookups for the rest of the values I want to input on the separate tab.
I've tried as many different IF statements as I can, but it's just not having it.
Any advice would be really appreciated.
You can use INDEX and AGGREGATE combination:
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$6,AGGREGATE(15,6,1/($E$2:$E$6="Client")*ROW($E$2:$E$6)-1,ROW()-1)),"")
In Google Sheets you can use FILTER (docs) for that. Place it in the top cell of your column.
={
"Your Header";
IFNA(FILTER(A2:A, B2:B = "Client"))
}
If A2:A and B2:B are from other tab named My Tab it will be 'My Tab'!A2:A and 'My Tab'!B2:B.
I have a google spreadsheet with 2 sheets. The first sheet contains data that has been input by a form. Each form response will input data for the following "Timestamp", "Zone", "NPC", "Faction", "Amount", "Faction2", "Amount2", "Faction3", "Amount3", "Faction4", "Amount4", "Faction5", "Amount5".
Row 1 contains the above category names for each response input. The way the form works unfortunately is that each response is put into it's own column based on what Zone is chosen at the beginning as each Zone has different possible responses for the category. So the data is spread out from Columns C to Columns HC. Each row will only have one response per category name, but the category names are repeated and spread out.
I have been using the following query in Sheet2 to pull the information from whichever "Zone" that is selected from the E1 dropdown in the sheet.
=if(len(E1)=0,"Please Select a Zone in E1",query('Form Responses'!A2:IS,"Select * Where B = """&E1&""" "))
The problem is that it returns the entire Row for the Selected zone so the following information doesn't line up. Is there any way for me to return only the information from the Rows that have data in the cell. This would then line up the data into the correct Column for Sheet2
Below is a link to the Form with some sample data in it, the Cobalt Scar selection lines up as the responses are in the corresponding columns in the data sheet, but Crystal Caverns and Western Wastes do not. You can change selected zone to view the results in Sheet2 E1.
Also the sheet is a copy and can be edited by the public.

I haven't found an elegant solution to this type of problem, but that doesn't mean it's not solvable.
The solution I created on your sheets is easily manageable (only have to update the sheet with the area / column table), but it does take up a little more memory.
How it works:
The ArrangedData tab is the first 2 columns from Form Responses, then the "appropriate" columns (based on the selection made on sheet2; it picks the columns from a lookup on sheet5).
Then ArrangedData is filtered (based on the selection on sheet2 again) into sheet2.
Let me know if you have any questions about it.
